"The American Medical Association (AMA) voted today to reverse its long-held position that marijuana be retained as a Schedule I substance with no medical value. The AMA adopted a report drafted by the AMA Council on Science and Public Health (CSAPH) entitled, "Use of Cannabis for Medicinal Purposes," which affirmed the therapeutic benefits of marijuana and called for further research."

    • Take a look at the book, "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer. He provides the 'facts' necessary to end the war on cannabis. http://www.jackherer.com/chapters.html It wasn't until my sons were in high school, that I learned, I had been lied to. Cannabis hemp has history! Positive history! Politicians were using 'madness' to perpetuate a war of choice, for political gain.

      I agree with Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and John Adams:

      "Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica." - Abraham Lincoln (from a letter written by Lincoln during his presidency to the head of the Hohner Harmonica Company in Germany)

      "Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country."
      - Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President

      "Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere."
      - George Washington, U.S. President

      "We shall, by and by, want a world of hemp more for our own consumption."
      - John Adams, U.S. President

      How can their voices be ignored, while spinning 'madness'?

    • Finally some research! Finally some common sense! I wanna smoke....i mean take some medication!

      Is there enough of a wave of pro-cannabis citizens to start something revolutionary? When is the tipping point where enough is enough?
